Apple iPhone 11 Pro Maxchat_bubble_outlineFrom real comments

Long-term owners still rate it as one of Apple's best phones years later. Several commenters mention still using the 11 Pro Max in 2023 and 2024, describing it as their favorite phone and noting the camera, processor speed, and design (rear glass panel, rounded edges) still hold up well compared to newer models. This suggests strong build quality and lasting relevance despite its age.

Performance and camera upgrades impressed many reviewers at launch. Commenters detail major improvements over the XS Max, including the A13 Bionic chip's speed, a brighter and more efficient Super Retina XDR display, improved Face ID, new Night Mode and Slofie camera features, and longer battery life. One user's survey even rated it the best phone released that year, though others found it merely incremental.

Price and missing features remain the most common criticisms. Multiple users call the phone overpriced, especially with only 64GB base storage and no SD card slot, pushing buyers toward iCloud storage purchases. Others note the lack of 90/120Hz screens, reverse wireless charging, and multitasking features found on competing phones, questioning what makes it truly 'Pro' despite the premium cost.
